Fantastic podcast (just so happens to include my brother lol) all about #StarWars! Currently they are rewatching #TheCloneWars and discussing everything it entails. If you like Star Wars (and the happier side of being a SW fans) give it a try! www.youtube.com/live/dYrtyXC...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

It's not nothing to call your reps or donate to a food bank or fix someone's flat tire.

You can't do everything but you can do *something*.

Adding Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde to my She Series. Besides being Washington’s first female diocesan bishop, she also speaks truth and mercy to power.
What should her verb be? Advocate?

It's been a bleak start to the year and I am dreading next Monday. I am going to focus on putting as much positivity and comfort out into the world this year, through my art and socials.

We are doing a sale through the weekend and a portion of the proceeds will go to help the LA fire victims.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance. A day to mourn all our trans siblings lost to transphobia. It is also a day of action and education so that one day the list of those we have lost does not grow year on year.

Below is a short list of some basic educational resources on trans activism.

A graphic that shows 5 candles in blue, pink, and white. The colours of the trans flag. The text reads "Transgender Day of Remembrance November 20"

Before mass deportations are bad economics (think the food you eat, the homes that are built, the roads upon which you drive), they are cruel, immoral and deny the image of God in our neighbors. The time to speak is sooner rather than later.
